Essay

Suppose that in a population of diploid organisms, a certain gene has only two alleles and mating is random (with respect to this gene, at least). Draw a graph showing how the frequency of heterozygotes in the population would vary depending on the frequency of the alleles in the population, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Hint: On the y-axis, plot the frequencies of heterozygotes as the frequency of one allele (on the x-axis) increases from 0 to 1 in intervals of 0.1 (0, 0.1, 0.2, etc.).

Definitions:

Axle

A rod or bar on which wheels turn or the housing that supports wheel assemblies. Also used to describe the shaft that transmits drive torque to the drive wheels.

Drivelines

Components, including the driveshaft, axles, CV joints, and differential, that transmit power from the engine to the wheels of a vehicle.

Torque Transfer

The process of transferring rotational force from one part of a mechanical system to another, allowing for movement and work to be done.

U-joints

Universal joints, flexible couplings that allow different parts of a drivetrain to pivot or rotate, accommodating changes in angle or alignment.
